To me, he`s a hero, ... He`s not polite. He`s not someone you want to take home to meet your mother, necessarily. This is a guy in search of truth. Incidentally, that truth one day could save your life or the life of someone you love. That`s a heroic thin...
Hugh Laurie
[on his late father`s reaction to his character Dr. Gregory House] He would be absolutely appalled. He was an endlessly polite, generous and soft-spoken man. He was no pushover, but he would never hurt, shock or outrage people just for the hell of it. At ...
Hugh Laurie

Michael Rennie

Alan Rickman
[on filming "The Triangle" (2005) (mini) in South Africa] I filmed Red Water (2003) (TV) in Cape Town, South Africa, so I had a number of local haunts that I`d been to before, and I really, really just love that city and the people are so polite and so wo...
